Next wednesday 1/3/18 (tuesday 1/2/18 our time) is the NJPW Fan Festa, Here's the press release from the site. >New Japan’s annual Fan Festa extravaganza from Differ Ariake is mere days away, and with that in mind, the schedule has been set for the January 3 event. The afternoon looks to be a fun one for all the family. The New Japan tour bus has always been a popular fixture for kids and adult Fan Festa attendees alike, and this year, the new, revamped tour bus will be at Differ for fans to take a look around. It’s a unique chance to see how the real stars of NJPW travel from town to town. >The very best late Christmas present for the New Japan fan who thinks they have everything? A membership in the Team NJPW Fan Club! If you choose to join on January 3 at Differ, a team of friendly employees will be on hand to aid you through the entry process- among them, Tetsuya Naito?! Yes, sign up to the Fan Club at Fan Festa, and the number one contender to the IWGP Heavyweight Championship will see you off with an LIJ style fist bump! >That’s not all, as there’ll be the chance to meet and receive signatures from your favourites, and in the ring area, there’s a full program of press conferences, talk shows and announcements, and even the chance to ring in the New Year in traditional Japanese style: >Please be aware, tickets for Fan Festa 2018 are SOLD OUT. There are NO tickets available on the day, but you can watch the afternoon’s entertainment at njpwworld.com ! 11:00 AM Site opens for NJPW Fan Club members (Only the outside area is available) 11:30 Site open for general attendees 12:05 PM Traditional BREAKing of the New Year’s mochi, with Togi Makabe, KUSHIDA and Jurina Matsui (SKE48) 12:15 NJPW video game announcement 1:00 Wrestle Kingdom 12 Open Press Conference (part 1) 2:45 Special talk show with WK12 Official Ambassador, Jurina Matsui 4:00 Wrestle Kingdom 12 Open Press Conference (part 2) 5:00 Three live matches (see card here https://www.njpw1972.com/tornament/18631?showCards=1 The obvious big news from this is the ==NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING VIDEO GAME== Which thank fucking god is happening because the industry needs a good 3d wrestling game alternative

Then obviously is Wrestle Kingdom 12, which has an actual start time of 17:00 JST or 12 AM PT/2 AM CT/3 AM ET, since the first hour is just the new japan rumble which is always fun but nothing ever that special. Closer to the andre the giant battle royale than the royal rumble. Lots of great matches that night but really the 2 main events are gonna be the ones to watch and I bet they'll go on about 3-4 hours into the main show.
Shit.

Finally the day after is New Years Dash which is essentially NJPW's version of the RAM after mania and is taking place at kouraken hall AKA Nip Wrestling home base. It's also going to be a free show available even on youtube probably so even if you don't get NJPWWorld it'll be something fun to check out. They announce the card on the day of the show so Start time for that one is 1:30 (PST) / 3:30 (CST) / 4: 30 (EST) /

>>90825 Im not sure if "carry" is the right word but he definitely needs someone to play off of. I think part of it is that when kenny gets paired with somebody lower her just stops giving a fuck and does comedy spots to keep it safe.
>>90831 He did good with beretta and juice this year though, and even managed to get an interesting match out of yoshi hashi at global wars. If it's a title match or on a big show he gives a shit otherwise he just has fun, which is fine honestly.
(25.24 KB 428x240 beeg choking goldberg.jpg)

>>90832 >big show beeg to njpw confirmed
>>90824 Even western NJPW fans think it should be Naito's main event. The only people who think it should be Jericho and Omega are the ones who only watch ROH or WWE and say they watch NJPW but don't.
>>90833 MOVE OVER NIP STARS
Top belt should go on last. Don't turn this into WWE, that's what we're trying to get away from.
>>90834 Agree. I'm a little annoyed at the fact that they're billing Kenny vs Jericho for a belt they literally just made up recently as on the same level as an IWGPWHC match featuring arguably the two best native workers in the company. It buries their homegrown talent to the point that the likes of Ishii for example became an afterthought. Why couldn't he a third man in the NEVER match for example. Ishii, Suzuki and Goto? It'd be an amazing hard hitting snuff match. Are NJPW looking for a more lucrative US TV deal? Are they looking to actively compete with Vince? If not what's the point of it?
>>90846 njpw isnt so found of 3 ways outside of jr division fuckery, im not sure Ishii would want to be a third man anyways with his style of match. The US title being elevated so high isnt really a bad thing considering they need it to be at a high level to draw with it in the US
>>90845 Top belt is going on last, no one outside of newfags thinks jericho and omega is the main event. Although even if it was a true double main event putting it on earlier does make some sense as fans in NA wouldn't have to stay up as late to watch it live.
>>90846 >the two best native workers in the company I'll only agree to that once someone retires.
>>90858 Okada surpassed tanahashi years ago, and naito surpassed him last year. Naito also has better character work than tanahashi, which is something tana still has the edge on over okada.
>>90863 Only really though age. I'll give you Naito tho, but for me I always want Tana to win no matter who he's against.
>>90864 Okada in terms of his ability to lay out a match is better than tanahashi right now, probably because of years learning from tanahashi and the other guys in NJPW. Same thing with naito. Every generation in new japan is usually better than the last because they build upon what is taught to them by their elders. Tanahashi isn't out yet but he is on his way down. He still has one more WK main event left in him though.

>>90863 >>90874 Tanahashi on Okada in his book "Why Hiroshi Tanahashi was able to change NJPW” in 2014: >Okada has every quality required for a wrestler. He stands 6 foot 3, which is on a par with athletes in world of sports. And he can change the atmosphere of the crowd with just one dropkick. Even the first-timers can tell that his physical abilities are beyond others. And his youth is perfect asset for attracting younger audience and female fans. >He also grew in a WONDERFUL environment. He learned lucha in Mexico, developed his physical strength in NJPW, and studied entertainment in TNA. >Top-notch wrestlers in the States are always aware of how they look in the camera frame. They are able to make themselves look better by locating the “Tally light (small light on camera that signals that the camera is live)” while they wrestle. This is a hassle even for the wrestlers with long careers, but Okada is capable of doing this. Since I never had the chance to learn wrestling abroad, I’m really jealous of his skill. >One thing that Okada lacks is an irresistible body that people could tell by first glance that he is a pro-wrestler. This is what makes pro-wrestler different from other athletes, and I think that all wrestler should aim for building such body. When Okada attains this, he will be second to none. Okada's gotta get jacked brother
>>90886 Some of it is the jacked aspect, others is the whole "look" thing, Naito has a great look despite not being that jacked. his longer hair and disheveled beard makes his whole "ingobernable" character visible at first glance. Okada looks awesome with his robe on but when he's just in his trunks he kind of just looks like a guy. He needs to develop an iconic look and whether that's through getting real jacked baby or some other means I think that'll come eventually.
(10.35 MB 1280x720 Tama - Big Surprise.webm)

>>90886 I've noticed this too, especially when he was fighting Kenny who is jacked to the gills on that crossfit shit. Okada needs to get on that Kitamura diet.

>>91383 Yeah, ROH has a working relationship with NJPW, don't know of any young lions there tho.
>>91383 The people they have partnerships with are RoH, CMLL, NWA, and a collection of smaller indies. They also have a working relationship with RevPro, and their title has been defended on NJPW shows in the past, I would expect some young lions to go over there in the future.

Three hours left. Put on your red shoes. Who do you boys think is going to win; Is Okada the future of the company as he's been booked? Or was it a ruse all along and now Naito is the new Tanahashi as he was always destined to be? This main event basically states who the future of New Japan is. Who do you think it will be and why?
>>91407 Okada IS the future but he's not gonna win this main event. Tanahashi didn't win every main event of WK he was in. Also, Naito is fucking 35 meanwhile Okada just turned 30 a couple months ago.
>>91407 Gedo will come out and declare the match is now a 3 way. Chase Owens comes out, wins the whole thing and becomes the new tanahashi.

>>91410 taima should be working
>>91413 Well good 3 part booking has them even at the second match, so that would mean naito would win this one
>>91415 No, what I mean is they usually make it take 3 matches to overcome a big challenge. First two matches are the struggle and build up, last one is the big win. Even booking is some gay WWE shit that makes everyone look bad.

Great sell.
Fucking amazing.
RIP Y2J. I was right this was by far his best match in quite a while.
Great match, double main event is gay but this is a truly worthy semifinal match
FUUUUCK One Wingu on a chair! Just like in muh 2k18 game. For real though that lionsault to OWA was slick. That shit is nice.
I don't like seeing these matches often in New Japan, but once in a blue moon is okay, and that was a very nice exhibition to put on. It is worth remembering this is for the US title, and the New Japan US tours will likely be a hybrid of Japanese and US talent going forward, so having a hybrid style will be to the belt's benefit in being different to the IC, NEVER Openweight and IWGP HW belts. It was also nice to see Jericho in an environment where he could play around, it would have been back when he took the thumb tack spot vs Owens that I realised he was getting bored with the last 15 years of the same shit.
alright that was fucking great, probably good enough for jericho to want more. We'll see tomorrow
This might be my new fav show of all time.

>Two of my boys lost (Naito, Suzuki) >Two of my boys won (but in the same match, EVIL and SANADA >Jericho/Omega was actually pretty good >Cody turned up for the second half of his match which was a pleasant surprise >4 way for Juniors turned out pretty okay >the booking for the Suzuki match and aftermath was good enough for me to forgive the loss Bretty gud Wrestle Kingdom.
>>91914 >Tofu Puro It's going to be filled with traps, ain't it?
>>91915 Either honma or shibata are showing up tomorrow
Jericho had an honest to god smile on his face after that pop he got off the lionsault. I hope he enjoys this last bit before retirement.

At the risk of sounding negative about the NJPW product, while I may be being extremely unfair by comparing it to last year's so which was beyond exceptional I found WK12 to be "good but flawed". Some of the matches felt either overbooked or clumsy in execution. Still miles better than anything WWE has put out in years but hardly their best effort to date. >Bucks vs R3K Fine, no problems with this one as an opener. I'm as sick as anyone of the Bucks at this point but it woun't hurt R3K at all >NEVER 6 man Pure filler and why the fuck is Sabre Junior wasting his time with those other two losers? >Kota vs Cody Great match fucked up by ROH's decision not to keep the belt on Cody. Had it had higher stakes I'd have called this match of the night. >IWGP Tag Again a really good match that got over the strengths of the wrestlers. Still not entirely convinced by EVIL but that's a personal issue. >Goto vs Suzuki This one was a lot more restrained than i thought it would be but then I considered Goto's match with Shibata last year to be one of the matches of the night so obviously my expectations were unreasonably high. I think the winner was wrong as I feel Goto needs to move away from the NEVER scene and up the card. >IWGP Junior 4 way This was overbooked as fug. It really only needed to be Osprey vs Skurll as it was the real story of this match and the hiromu/ KUSHIDA thing has long run it's course imho. >Old man Tana vs Edgelord literally who? I've never cared less about the IWGP IC title as I have in the hands of Tanahashi. He was gassed after a few minutes and really really needs to rest. Jay was fine I suppose, but I've barely heard of the bloke and fail to see what warrants him being here other than "Well we need to have Tana SOMEWHERE" >Jericho vs Omega Could never live up to the hype and honestly didn't. Jericho showed his age in trying to wrestle at Kenny's pace. Also what the fuck was up with Kenny's entrance gear? Could he please fucking take one match seriously for once rather than going all lolsonerdyXD. Otherwise it was fine, spent too long on the outside at the beginning but it was okay. >Okada vs Naito It was a really good match but fuck me what has Okada got on the booking team? This was really the right time for Naito.
>>91945 Could he please fucking take one match seriously for once rather than going all lolsonerdyXD He tried to be full serious when he joined the BC and failed completely. He's perfect the way he is right now.
Biggest negatives about the show for me was the 4 way having too many botches, and the IC title match kinda stinking. I've been saying tanahashi needs to take time off for months now, and this match really showed that to be true. Naito not winning didn't actually bother me that much as it does make sense in terms of long term booking. In this case I think long term booking needed to be put on the backburner to go with the momentum of the fans but at least they're committed to a plan.
>>91949 I didn't mind botches in the 4 way match. In a match that fast and full of spots that stuff is bound to happen and nothing really stood out to me as terrible. Tana though, it's a sad state of affairs when I'm actively rooting against him in favor of someone I don't particularly like because I want him to go away for a while.
>>91950 If suzuki isn't retiring I bet he takes the belt off tana at the next show so he has time to get surgery for the G1. Other than that I really don't know who could challenge him.
New years dash thread here so this thread doesn't hit bump limit >>91951
I loved this show, even the ic match a bit. I'm just scared Tanahashi might go the way of Angle with his body.
>>91945 >This was really the right time for Naito. Rule of three anon. He'll get it next time around, maybe next year.
